SDK Parsers

Intelligent Barcode Parsing for IDs, Licenses, and Supply Chains

barKoder’s built-in parsers instantly extract structured data from AAMVA, South African driver’s licenses, MRZ zones, and GS1 barcodes — no manual processing needed.

Built-in Barcode Data Parsing API Solutions

barKoder includes powerful, built-in data parsers that go beyond scanning — they automatically extract and organize information from industry-standard barcodes. Each parser is purpose-built to handle a specific barcode format, returning clean, structured data you can use immediately in your app, system, or workflow.

Each parser returns structured JSON-style objects, with labeled key-value pairs ready to plug into your application. No need for manual decoding or string manipulation.
